"[On the contrast between those who are in favor of civil unions and homoparenting and those who are against] [...] I would like someone to explain to me what the traditional family is. That of 5th century Athens? The one in Sparta? The one in Rome? [...] The patriarchal one of fifty years ago? That "wife, husband, son-two sons"? Is that? Is that the traditional family of the last fifty years? [...] The family is a socio-cultural product. [...] It is therefore completely clear that its concept is changing. [...] it would be necessary for these transformations [...] to take place with a minimum [...] of cultural foundation, of awareness, of conscience. Not in the face of "We want everything" and everything that comes to mind is a "natural right" because then two "naturalisms" are opposed: the Catholic one which is totally absurd because anything can be a Christian except a "naturalist "; and the one on the other side of the so-called "natural rights" which are a ghost [...]."
